Re: The Black Cats Match Thread

[QUOTE=Chewbacca;1220474]The terms and conditions clearly state "League Ticket" several times. even though the title is not clear.

A policy to deal with refunds/discounts would not mean the rules can be re-written.

Anyway the club adhered to the rules after the Morecambe call off so I am sure it will all be reet.[/QUOTE

Which Morecambe 'call off' the first or second? Yeh need to get some garden forks and let the water drain away. Can't keep charging fans twice for the same game, the EFL will twig what yer up to before long.

Don't talk rubbish, if you think we can afford for any games to be called off you're in cuckoo land!
The first game called off against your lot shouldn't have been, pitch was playable but the combination of Ellison's theatrics & Jim Bentley in the ref's ear caused the abandonment - nothing to do with the fact you were losing I suppose.
The second one, last New Year's day I think, was down to the ref - he obviously had somewhere to be.
Stop whinging & concentrate on your own club's troubles

Remember well that game, I was stood on the (uncovered) terrace behind the goal City were attacking, Denis bagged six goals by half time. Unfortunately, they didn't come out for second half! Memory fades, but, pretty sure it was against Luton Town, & when replayed near end of season, City lost 3-1 !!

Re: The Black Cats Match Thread

The King was my boyhood footballing hero.
It was a few years before my adolescent adulation kicked in, but he was playing for City in the FA Cup 4th round against Luton Town when he scored six times, only for the game to be abandoned after 69 minutes owing to (Somerset, please take note) a waterlogged pitch.
It happened on my birthday in 1961.
For those who care or have forgotten, Luton weren’t a bad team then and had been the beaten finalists at Wembley in 1959.
To keep this ‘on thread’, I can only assume Denis must’ve run over a few black cats on his way to Maine Road that day.

I thought I'd get more abuse than that, poor effort Accy! It was of course said in jest!!LOL. East Lancs weather is notoriously aquatic and it's always going to happen.

I remember your pitch when it was a quagmire in winter so you've come a long way since then. Anyway I'm actually really pleased for you (in a jealous sort of way). Coley is still a Morecambe legend. As a player he'd come and sit at the bar with us and have a pint under the old main stand at Christie Park after games.He is a true gent and football through and through. Those days are just a distant memory now. Hope you all have a Happy Xmas and keep it going. You are a shining example of what a small club can achieve with decent management and a good owner.

Oh and a Happy New Year to you all during which you hopefully finally sort that bloody pitch out!

Funny thing memory.
3rd round of FA Cup on 10th January 1959 saw Luton beat Leeds 5-1, Ipswich beat Huddersfield 1-0, and Accrington Stanley annihilate Darlington 3-0. Later that month Man City were beaten at home in a replay by Grimsby!

Re: The Black Cats Match Thread

I concede that memory really deteriorates with advancing years, but, I am sure that the game was at Maine Road, & was a league game, abandoned at half time, replayed later in season, when City lost 3-1, having led 6-2, King Denis having scored all six..... be grateful to any of you techies out there who know how to research the records.... it would have been approximately between '60 & '62.... however, as the game was abandoned, it may not even exist in any records!

Anybody have an e-mail or twitter address for Denis??
